I’m following this tutorial and would like to use the Elegoo R3 board if possible, as I am trying to minimize costs of my project. The instructions say to use the Arduino Brain Library and I was wondering if similar libraries have a history of compatibility with offbrand boards like the Elegoo. The overall goal of this project is to turn an eeg (electroencephalogram) toy into a working eeg and then use the data for a research project.
The design of the Arduino UNO is well understood. Libraries that work on a Genuine Arduino UNO should work exactly the same on any Arduino UNO clone.
John is correct, but notice his get-out-of-jail-free word: "should".
No one here can guarantee the reliability or workings of a clone. Many a forum member has wasted time & money (and maybe some hair pulled-out) by using clone junk.
I always recommend everyone to buy an authentic Arduino for development and if money is a crunch, deploy on a clone.
For a prototype, sure, why not. I think Elegoo is sort of somewhere in the middle of the quality spectrum. There is better, and there is worse. I would never use one for any kind of final product.
